Zakynthos

Greece

Laganas Travel Guide

Laganas is the hottest spot on Zakynthos (Zante). Visitors can
enjoy golden sand and warm waters along one of the Mediterranean's
longest beaches. The area is also a conservation area for
loggerhead turtles. Visitors should not disturb their nests, which
explains the ban on watersports.

Laganas is lined with hotels and apartment blocks, and the town
is crammed with bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Visitors may not
find a traditional Greek island atmosphere, though nearby villages
won't disappoint in that regard.

Visitors will find everything from grocery stores to hundreds of
souvenir shops. Good buys include jewellery, leather goods,
designer clothing and local crafts. The fresh bread and sweet
pastries from local bakeries are particularly good.

Laganas is packed with party people on summer nights. Reputable
DJ's are frequent visitors and play through to the small hours and
beyond. Dance clubs, pubs, cocktail bars and karaoke bars are all
part of the experience.

Though Laganas is dedicated mainly to fun, sun and partying,
holidaymakers will find some very worthwhile scenic and cultural
excursions. Boat cruises open a world that includes turtle viewing
and visits to Zakynthos' extraordinary sea caves.

Also, Zakynthos town is home to fascinating museums, historic
sites, churches and shopping opportunities. Watersports are offered
at nearby Agios Nikolaos beach.

Laganas is one of the biggest and busiest resorts in Greece,
where holidaymakers looking for a quiet, traditional Greek island
will be disappointed. The beach is always jam-packed in the height
of the season, and the resort is continually full of noise and
commotion. Many visitors have complained about over-insistent touts
outside clubs and restaurants, and some have reportedly been misled
on the quality of their accommodation. There are no watersports
offered at the resort because of the nesting loggerhead turtles on
the beach.
